  • Individual Bookings:
    Bookings are now ungrouped, meaning each line item has its own separate booking. While bookings are still visually grouped by supplier, each one can have its own status, booking reference, notes, etc. This change also removes certain restrictions in the builder.
  • Streamlined Supplier Responses:
    Booking emails for multiple bookings now include a single "Respond to request" button, allowing suppliers to respond to all bookings on one page. Suppliers can select different responses, booking references, and notes for each booking from the same page.
  • Updated Booking Vouchers:
    Booking vouchers now group bookings by supplier.
  • Ungrouped Supplier Payments:
    Supplier payments are now ungrouped, with each payment corresponding to a single item. Existing supplier payments for multiple items have been split into one primary payment and additional payments with an amount of 0.00, accompanied by a warning message.
  • Traveller Details in Booking Emails:
    You can now include traveller details in booking emails. A "Traveller Details" option is available in booking email settings, allowing you to configure which of the 51 traveller fields are included for each product type. If a booking email contains multiple product types, traveller details for all types will be included.
  • First Day Rate Pricing:
    You can now calculate prices based on the first day's rate for all days in a booking. This option is available on the "Options" page for each product.
